You and the person with whom you are engaging may be talking about two entirely different things. When do you know you're on the same page? What are the signs and have you ever been wrong?

No cheating. All they want is a chance.I understand that being wealthy has its perks. Expensive multiple homes and cars and vacations. Not a problem. Fancy name-brand clothes and high-priced jewelry. Not a problem. What is?I think being poor should not rob you of an education or medical treatment. Do you agree or dis?It seems to me that a society where people become billionaires in multiples ought to be able to afford to educate their kids and keep them healthy. ALL kids. Not just the privileged ones.What do YOU think? Why? less

Many of us would like to have just ONE DAY where we could go into any store and buy whatever we fancied without the knowing what it costs. Something the very rich do normally all the time. SIGH
It isn't anything you will find on a eye chart. That vision exists inside your brain and is rarely caught off-guard. I speak ONLY for myself of course. But is that true for you too?

Greedy folk and sharers are opposites. Can they join in any kind of meaningful union when one is focused on getting taking while the other is happy sharing, giving?

At what point were pols excoriated by their fellow partisans for being polite to "the other"? Now it seems the cruder and more boorish more outrageous more hateful they are to one another the more support they get from their own ilk. How sad is THAT?

There are something like 30,000 members and I believe the organization is based in Australia.Are you pro or con? Why?

I don't remember wearing one while my son was young and he is going to be 54 on his next birthday. Now what did I do with them? Why did I stop wearing them? Weird that I forgot all about their existence!

So I try not to do so.Some people always seem to be in one battle or another with one someone or another for one reason or another. Always. Is that a life you'd want to live? What do they get out of it?

Which we did. It took awhile but we thought everything was hunky dorry. But there was this one female customer who was wheelchair bound and I don't remember how many times she'd try to sue us for something very small that our other customers in similar situations had no problem with. She was known for that. I just wonder what her have a steel rod up her a** when all our other similarly afflicted customers seemed to be fine with what we had done? Nothing else to do? Wanted to make a name for herself? WHAT? less
